...Mrruhhh...
Anything to help a friend. I cannot thank you enough for all you've done.
...If you could... Find something... To get my blood sugar up... Skipping all those meals... was a mistake... I can see that now...

make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Don't Americans say "happy as Larry"?-
-Does Gracia notice the letter?-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-That is incalculably depressing-
-She picks it up, curious-
-Opens it to read-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She made you scrambled eggs-
I'm afraid my culinary skills aren't anything to brag about, but that should be edible.
Gracia,
Some things came up back home. Please wait for me here. I will try to come back as soon as I can, but in the meantime I need you to look after Fen. I know you can be very brave and I know you're probably braver than I am. Be well, and try not to use your magic too much. One day you'll be strong enough to fight off anything that comes your way, but just take it slow. The only one expecting too much of you is yourself. I trust you. I'm sorry for the mess I've caused.
I know I fought with Fen more than I wanted to. She tries too hard sometimes, but she should remember that she can be as human as she wants to be. I won't make anymore promises I can't keep for her.
Tifa and I are very happy right now, watching Hevel grow up. Maybe when you get back you can see him. I'll take more pictures and have been relaxing and spending time with each other. I'm with my brother right now too, though it'll be hard explaining what I some of the and I'm sure he'll enjoy my company in the coming weeks, no matter how busy I get.
I know some people might be upset about this, but this is for the best, for all of you. It wouldn't have happened if I wasn't sure it wouldn't give you the lives you deserved. God knows I've ruined enough of them.
Sometimes being happy isn't really a black and white thing. Sometimes what makes you happy makes someone else miserable, and sometimes something that should have made you happy just makes you even sadder. You never really know which is which until it happens. I always thought that would mean living a normal life, but I guess it never really worked out that way. Maybe it never will. Maybe this is my "normal life" and I should learn to like it. Or maybe I'm not doing normal right.
I guess it must be easier for you. I guess anything would be a normal life after yours. It felt that way at first for me too, but the more they gave me, the more afraid I got. I still don't know the answer. Maybe being afraid is just part of who I am.
Tell Fen that I'll be looking out for you all, even if you can't see it. I have already given you everything I had to give, and I think that's for the better.
You will always be a party of my family.

-She stares at the letter, then up at Cloud, eyes wet-
Y-y—
You—
Cloud Strife. A pleasure.

-She flees upstairs, hiding her eyes in her arm-
Or... not?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?By my track record, it's probably something the other one did. The other me, I mean.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?What he did is absolutely my problem when I have to run damage control. Even he understood responsibility enough to go somewhere and be harmless for a change.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

<I don't care about the ethics. I was just hoping you could point me to someone that exists in our world.>
